Hello Community,

Processing and p5.js are great for coding education! Students from all over the world  
(high-school and college) are enjoying immensely the gently ease into coding that p5.js offers.

As a matter of fact, the Processing API can be also used successfully to introduce even younger kids in the wonderful world of coding.

For this purpose I built a coding website / playground for kids (based on p5.js library). This solves one of the biggest problem that younger kids are facing: setting up the environment!

If you are teaching elementary and middle-school kids coding, consider visiting [codeguppy.com](https://codeguppy.com) - the free p5.js based coding platform for kids.
